We investigate refined algebraic quantisation with group averaging in a constrained Hamiltonian system whose gauge group is the connected component of the lower triangular subgroup of SL(2,R). The unreduced phase space is T^*R^{p+q} with…
We describe a simple dynamical model characterized by the presence of two noncommuting Hamiltonian constraints. This feature mimics the constraint structure of general relativity, where there is one Hamiltonian constraint associated with…
We propose in this paper an alternative method for the quantisation of systems with first-class constraints. This method is a combination of the coherent-state-path-integral quantisation developed by Klauder, with the ideas of reduced state…

We introduce a semiclassical quantization method which is based on a stroboscopic description of the classical and the quantum flows. We show that this approach emerges naturally when one is interested in extracting the energy spectrum…
Algebraic quantization scheme has been proposed as an extension of the Dirac quantization scheme for constrained systems. Semi-classical states for constrained systems is also an independent and important issue, particularly in the context…
